Repeat blue

Here's an excerpt of what I had to say on August 7:

Whenever I have a decent shot at making the money in a tournament, I check to see if there's a payout that will return my overall balance to the blue. Imagine my surprise last night when I discovered that the 8th place payout would return me exactly to my personal best overall balance - in other words, to repeat blue.

Imagine my surprise last night when I discovered that the payout for places 10-12 would provide me with repeat blue. I finished in 10th, and I'll take it :-)
